Republicans Seek Citizenship Path for DREAMers Faces White House Pushback
In Washington the House GOP tentatively backs offering citizenship to some unauthorized immigrants brought here as children while Democrats and White House reject anything short of full citizenship for all 11 million undocumented. The clash shadows a stalled immigration bill ahead of a monthlong recess as Senate action contrasts with House inaction. GOP leaders emphasize a path to stay with eventual citizenship, but critics say the plan is political cover and fails to address the broader immigrant population.
